Currently, I can see only app binaries are getting installed in bin but not 
examples binaries. I am not able to
find the particular reason behind this.
The main reason to have the examples in installation directory is to provides a 
convenient
way for users to explore DPDK's examples without having to manually scan each 
example build directory and copy them in
their package.
The default behavior remains unchanged.
